SoundCloud

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SoundCloud (New York, NY) in April 2015.

Interview

For this internship position, I had my initial call with the recruiter which was a casual conversation about who I was and why I was interested in working at SoundCloud. After the call, we set up a Skype interview for later that week with 2 managers I would be reporting to, if hired. I was asked about my skills and how I could apply them to the role. Following the Skype interview, the recruiter scheduled another Skype interview the HR director which was similar to the previous Skype interview in terms of the questions I was asked. Following the two Skype interviews, I had one last phone call with the recruiter.

Throughout the process, the recruiter was really nice and constantly kept me up to date with the status of my application, which no other company I applied for an internship at did. Once I was offered the position, the HR department sent me paperwork promptly.

Overall, the process was long in terms of the number of interviews but I now understand why the decision takes time on the company's end; SoundCloud is a growing company attracting talent from around the world. The culture is remarkable and the company is full of the brightest people.
